Tolkien died in 1973. Reverse it and you get 3791.
Three rings for the elven kings under the sky, seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, nine for mortal men doomed to die, and one for the dark lord on his dark throne.
We all have certain MCU movies where our fave looks just that little bit better than in the other movies of the franchise he’s been in. Well, it took watching Black Panther to finally figure this out… we’re all kinky bitches and like straps.
Exhibit A: Erik Stevens/Killmonger
The stab vest/body armor doesnt have to be different colours, in fact if it was IRL it would likely all be one, but with the brown shoulder straps and the matt black torso strap it just makes me go hgnngh… the side diagonal straps do little to make it integrally more secure, instead it draws the eye to the very centre of his chest, which lead your eyes to his belt and then south… its sexually dominant.
Exhibit B: Loki Laufeyson
The original strap expert. But its his outfit in Avengers Assemble that really does it. Shoulder to waist straps that intertwine with opposing sides. They draw the eye down his body and make you realise how tall he is (i may have a tall men kink too).
Exhibit C: Steve Rogers/Captain America, notibly the STEALTH SUIT (of sex)
Again we have contrasting colours with the belt and shoulder holsters, but also the blue on black torso detailing. The brown leather emphasises his most notable body features, his slim waist and his massive shoulders, in essence telling you he’s fucking powerful.
Exhibit D: Thor Odinson
Thor in Gladiator garb is the sexiest uniform yet for the God of Thunder. The leather straps very much draw the eye down just like they do with his (adopted) brother. First the symbolic roundells then the chest to waist strap, then the belt before the whole tunic flares out at the hips. Furthermore the straps around his bare bicep and forearm draw your eyes to his muscles, before your eyes move back to his chest and start the whole glorious journey again.
Exhibit E: Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (The Asset)
Of all the different uniforms Bucky has worn throughout the MCU, the second one we see him wear in CATWS is by far the most brutal. Not only the leather strapping detail to his jacket, but also his utility belt and cross chest shoulder holster. The cross chest strap in particular emphasises his huge chest to great effect; this guy is the result of 70 years of hard work by Hydra to create the ultimate killing machine, and looks every inch one that would thoroughly destroy you.
Girl, you cracked it. You cracked the damn code!!!
imagine being an amazon, diana’s sister, an ex-avenger, AND being t’challa’s soulmate would include…
essentially just some drabbles/headcanon’s for my t’challa x oc fic i’ll be publishing on wattpad soon;)
warnings: slight mention of domestic violence
obviously meeting during civil war and being on cap’s team bc angst my dudes
being diana’s twin/younger sister
when you were itty bitty you went to look at all the amazon’s treasures in the tower and found the wings of icarus
you didn’t know that you weren’t supposed to touch them
that they had been gifted by the sun god, apollo, so that anyone who touched them would have the ability to icarus’ greatest wish — to fly near the sun
made of celestial bronze (pjo reference what what)
being one of the greatest amazon’s
you and diana literally bring the dream team
never feeling any pain from your soulmate and wondering if you’ll ever have one
being scared that your soulmate is probably a human and you’ll outlive him/her and will have to watch them die
diana having given up on humans after steve trevor dies and the justice league never existing rip
enter the avengers
hearing diana’s stories about humans and desperately wanting to experience the world yourself
working to help the allies during world war ii on your own and howard stark finding out about you + your wings and asking you to help them against the germans
keeping your “capabilities” a secret from everyone
essentially pretending to be an agent like peggy
being bff’s with peggy
steve being wary of you at first bc you’re suuppperr intimidating and him being super nationalistic™ af bc of your thick amazonian accent and not being sure that you can be trusted but eventually you grow on him
him fully trusting him after you reveal who you really are
also becoming bff’s with bucky like that boy is so gorgeous and you swoon but you know he’s not the one who has your heart
being suupperr depressed when steve dies bc y’all would literally have become such good friends and uGH
omg and when you think bucky dies….
you’re like diana when steve dies bc he was your best friend and you wanting to rip hydra to shreds
going back to the amazons but still taking trips to the human world to protect them and visit peggy + howard but not getting attached to anyone else
okay but imagine visiting howard and peggy and lil baby tony runs in and squeezes aunt peggy’s legs and then i’d just like
who are you
and why are you so beautiful
you being his first “love”
like he’s just so entranced with you bc you just have this natural beauty and you just love him to bits bc he’s the sweetest little thing
flash forward
starting to feel a weird rolling in your stomach during the early 80’s that lasts about 9 months
that’s when you knew
he/she was mortal… and it terrified you
feeling their pain over the years, even gaining a few cuts or bruises occasionally
every time you get a random wound you’re always so worried that they don’t have a good home life and could be being domestically hurt and always wondering why there are they strange markings that occasionally appear and stay
shield knowing about you bc of peggy and the incidents when you’d swoop in and save people from over the years
phil coulson going to recruit you to be an avenger
he’s lowkey super intimidated by you but then he tells you that cap is alive
and you just freeze
bc he’s alive after all this time
and so you say yes and then you’re off to the helicarrier
“hello again, steve.”
“(y/n)?”
slight tearful hello
but then tony walks in and you just
this little boy now a man
and he’s soooo sassy and full of himself and not at all the boy you knew
not hesitating to be equally sarcastic with him
fury being like “we couldn’t have just had two gods, no, we had to have three”
loki being so entranced by you bc wow you’re a goddess and from midgard no less
you reminding him and thor of the valkyrie
becoming best friends with nat and thor
telling nat of the stories of your fellow amazons and she just turns to clint and is like
“i want one”
and you’re just like “well, i have a twin sister..”
and she’s all on board for meeting diana
idk what your super!name would be
would you be wonder woman???
idk hmu if you think of something cool
but being a hero and loving it because you are actually getting to help people, and hey, this time your friends didn’t die
just loving the avengers and the become your new family, and even though you still visit and love the amazon’s and never forget that they are your people, these mortals have become so close to you and you couldn’t help but let them become your family
pt. 2 coming soon!!! i’m just super tired and have zero energy to write about aou, civil war, meeting t’challa and black panther (the movie) soooo stay tuned lovelies! okay but guys, this is so important, seriously i’m super conflicted: natasha or okoye x diana?
And if you’re afraid of the power Trump already wields, hear this: if we don’t show up in the midterms, the Republicans could get a supermajority in the Senate. That means no ability to filibuster. No recourse. No way to stop them.
We’ve got to make sure the blue states stay blue and try to turn some of those red states blue as well. Don’t count your state out just because it usually votes Republican. Historically, midterms have way lower turnouts than presidential election years. So lets actually show up this time and do some damage.
Oh, and one hopeful note, all the House seats are up for reelection. So let’s take that shit away from Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
Also, remember to vote in local elections! Keep track of when they are, the candidates, and make sure you stay informed on local and state politics. We have to show up in 2018, and at every. Single. Thing.
I dont like adding things but this needs to be said: DO NOT ASSUME THAT THERE WILL BE A HIGH DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT. Do not think that “oh EVERYONE else will show up to vote, I dont have to” Do not do that. Because trust me you wouldn’t be the only person thinking that. Now, if everyone assumes it’ll be a high turn out so they dont go, then nobody goes. Assume always that your vote will be the tipping point, assume that your vote is necessary and needed (because guess what: it absolutely is). Go vote. Keep track of the dates. And just go do it.
Register to vote. Check that you’re registered even if you think you are, even if you (like me) have voted in every election since you were old enough to do so. And then do it.
If you can, volunteer to drive people to the polls.
All you high schooler turning 18 in time for the election make sure you register to vote!!
Y’all are woke right now and that is so amazing, but you need to keep the momentum going. Real change happens when you show up and help put people into power the will actually make changes.
